And Joab saith, `Why `is' this -- thou art running, my son, and for thee there are no tidings found?' -- 23 `And, whatever it be, `said he,' let me run.'

And the king saith, `This `is' a good man, and with good tidings he cometh.' 28 And Ahimaaz calleth and saith unto the king, `Peace;' and he boweth himself to the king, on his face, to the earth, and saith, `Blessed `is' Jehovah thy God who hath shut up the men who lifted up their hand against my lord the king.' 29 And the king saith, `Peace to the youth -- to Absalom?' And Ahimaaz saith, `I saw the great multitude, at the sending away of the servant of the king, even thy servant `by' Joab, and I have not known what `it is'.' 30 And the king saith, `Turn round, station thyself here;' and he turneth round and standeth still. 31 And lo, the Cushite hath come, and the Cushite saith, `Let tidings be proclaimed, my lord, O king; for Jehovah hath delivered thee to-day out of the hand of all those rising up against thee.'
